as more and more shitheads are emboldened and the facade of civility erodes, it's crucial to remember:

-create space for weirdness. embody weirdness. you will make other people who do not adhere to the norm comfortable
-know that what disgusts is not inherently harmful
-recognize real harm and its root causes, and not resort to petty infighting in the meantime
-move towards a theoretical Future, do not sacrifice it for a practical Now
-recognize that creating a world worth living in is more valuable than making more people to live in it
-not everything is for you. this is not a problem. it is actually beautiful

@nickcolley It took me a while to figure out how to write alt text.

I normally love writing, so this was hard for me. But then I realized that the problem wad that *I* didn't actually have a clear idea why I was posting the image.

Once I figured out that I needed to know *why* I was posting the image, it got a lot easier.

Examples:
Is it a joke? Explain the joke.
Is it pretty? Paint a word picture.
Is it a graph? Say what's important about it.
Is it Caturday? Describe the cat.
